As part of a day celebrating the 91热爆 Performing Groups鈥� contribution to Radio 3鈥檚 70 years of pioneering music and culture since the founding of the Third Programme, the 91热爆 SSO presents an hour-long concert showcasing Scottish composition from the last three decades.
Stuart MacRae and Anna Meredith were composers associated with the 91热爆 SSO between 1999 and 2006, so the concert opens with MacRae鈥檚 Stirling Choruses (a 91热爆 Commission from 1999) and includes Meredith鈥檚 work fringeflower. Judith Weir鈥檚 Music, Untangled, meanwhile, is a work inspired in part by a traditional melody sung by women cloth-workers in Barra. The concert is conducted by Sir James MacMillan whose famous breakthrough work The Confession of Isobel Gowdie, another original commission for the 91热爆 SSO and first performed at the 91热爆 Proms in 1990, closes the concert.
Making Waves will be broadcast live on 91热爆 Radio 3.
Tickets: Free, limited to 2 tickets per application. Venue booking fees of 拢1.00 (online) or 拢1.50 (phone) may apply.
Please note there will be no interval in this concert. The concert will end at 3pm.
